1-9. DIFFERENCES BETWEENMODELS.

a. The two 20K models are similar except for minor variations in size and weight, and in configuration of the vent

pipe. Amfuel models use a vent pipe with a welded base; the Bell-Avon model uses a cam-lock fitting.

b. The Amfuel 50K model differs in size, capacity, and weight from both 20K models. It uses the same vent pipe

assembly as the Amfuel 20K.

c. The drain hose assembly and the valve are the same for both Amfuel models, but differ from that used on the

Bell-Avon 20K.

d. Both 20K models have 12 handles for movement of the tank. The 50K has 32 handles.
